fibromyalgia

My girlfriend has just been told that she has fibromyalgia. I was told that there are pressure points on the body. Where are these points? How many are there? Can fibromyalgia be caused by a trauma situation, such as a severe highway accident? Is there a cure for this disorder once you have it or is it just something a person has to live with? Is there any medication that can help or cure this disorder? I need help in finding out what I can do to help her.
